Houston-headquartered Eureka Naval Craft, France’s AIRCAT Vessels S.A.S. and ABS have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that aims to accelerate safe development of high-speed unmanned and autonomous surface vessels (USVs/ASVs) for both naval defense and offshore energy operations.
The collaboration is designed to set new international standards, which will support safety, reliability, and operational excellence for high-speed autonomous vessels deployed in high-risk civilian and military environments.
The MOU leverages Eureka’s advanced naval vessel innovation, AIRCAT’s commercial offshore pedigree, and ABS’s classification expertise to bridge defense and energy industry needs.
“Whether serving a naval mission or supporting offshore energy, high-speed unmanned craft face the same unforgiving risks. By combining our strengths under ABS’s safety leadership, we are building platforms that can be trusted across both worlds,” said Bo Jardine, CEO of Eureka Boats.
“ABS is excited to work with Eureka and AIRCAT, leveraging our expertise with the world’s most advanced autonomous and remote-control technology to drive innovation while maintaining an
